You can get 404 errors when doing an apt command with a very poor WiFi
connection.

I've now got so many Pi's they need to be treated like a herd rather
then pets, so I have scripts to simultaneously run commands on all of
them. When using this to do a update there is so much WiFi traffic the
Raspberry Pi in the shed at the bottom of the garden throws 404s. If I
go back and kick it off manually, it succeeds, albeit slowly.

It only has a standard RPi WiFi dongle, I'll probably upgrade it to one
with a large antenna, like the one I use for video streaming in the
Family room. Although that is inside the house, its was in a complete
dead zone as far as a standard dongle was concerned, but the one with
the antenna has a better signal than the RPi3B's built in WiFi 15ft from
the router.
